A lucky lottery player from Pennsylvania won a whopping sum of $1,000 for Life playing Pennsylvania Lottery's The Game of Life. 

The winning ticket was purchased from a lottery retailer in Erie County. The store will receive a bonus of $1,000 for selling the winning ticket. 

The Pennsylvania Lottery is operated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By Pennsylvania law, at least 40 percent of Lottery proceeds are required to be paid as prizes, with another 27 percent towards funding programs. Currently, the Pennsylvania Lottery exceeds these requirements, as 60.9 percent is paid as prizes, 29.9 percent to programs, 6.7 percent is paid as retailer and vendor commissions and 2.5 percent is consumed as operating expenses.

The Game of Life is a $10 game that offers top prizes of $1,000 a week for a life annuity or a cash option of $1.04 million.
